● At 15, Said escaped Iran through blizzards in the mountains, nearly dying multiple times.
● At 42, he was an associate professor, living what looked like the dream life. Then he
walked away. Why? He'd forgotten his "why."
● Shortly after, he was diagnosed with colon cancer.
● That's when everything became clear.
● Today, Said helps high-achieving professionals, organizations and emerging leaders
navigate change, rediscover purpose, and escape the comfort zones slowly suffocating
their potential.
